Still looking for ideas for landmine or quicksand...

Perhaps quicksand could lower enemy stack damage/defence? The effect of damage/defence reduction could also stack if the enemy creature stack stays on the quicksand patch for more than one turn.

I'll also be sure to share some of the spell modification ideas if I come up with any.

you could always have a "rope" spell to counteract a more powerful "quicksand" spell, so that whenever a creature falls into quicksand, it will eventually drown and die, unless someone knows the "rope" spell and can save it.

you could also make a "pitfall" spell, where a creature is held in place for a short time, and if the hero doesn't have a "rope" spell, in it goes, all in one whack. of course, if the hero DOES have the rope spell, he can place the creature on the hero's side of the "hidden pitfall". neat idea, i think.

it'd be cool to implement this on a map as an event, too.

Wouldn't that be a little bit too overpowered?

Landmine could create more landmines with more damage. Otherwise it's too small chance to achieve anything, especially without magic damage. Quicksand could also have more spots.

with regards to scripting i don't know any trigger if a creature steps into quicksand and gets "trapped"
one could archive a similar effekt with blind/heal spell. If the target is blinded longer than 3 rounds -woosh gone
PS fred: the landmine spell is ready it was nice idea

As a new air spell: Strong Winds -  pushes a creature back for 3 hex positions
(good to free your shooters or against strong but slow units)

Doppelganger spell - it would copy the hero casting it. The Doppelganger couldn't have any army (but enemy would see the copied hero's creatures), could claim unguarded mines and towns and would be automatically destroyed if attacked by enemy hero. Just like armyless hero in Heroes 7.

A "pacifist" spell: The creature can't attack for three rounds, but can move freely.

More powerful summons, less units (compared to elemental summons) but more strong or with special abilities.

Warrior spirit: Each time the enchanted creature attacks or kill another stack, his attack and damage increases (with a fixed number based on creature level or a percent value).

How about this: Forget direct damage, let's change land mine completely. Instead of dealing points of damage, it instead instantly kills some percent of the stack that steps on it. Percentage could depend on the caster's spellpower, for example 1% per power level. So if 100 Behemoths step on a mine that was cast by a hero with 12 spell power, boom! There goes 12 of the beasts.

That would be a disaster, imo. Landmine is a common spell, not hard to get, and that would mean any magic hero you pump for a few levels would be capable, through mass slow then land mines to defeat zillions of behemots/hydras or whatever high levels walkers. Combine this with the fact that AI is bad coded and easy to lure into mines by using some insignificant bait, and you get the perfect low level hero killer.

OTOH, you would start having some use for magic heroes.

Maybe you would need a cap at 20% and only trigger for small units not big ones and this could work. I will add to my script, thanks for the idea

Edit:
By the way, is anyone actualy using Sacrifice? I never use it. What could make this spell better?

Let it be possible to sac. summoned units.

Something fun could be let it be possible to sac. hypnotized units, shouldn't change much balance wise, but could be a fun effect.
